rant, anxiety, Twitter 

It’s been two months since I’ve been able to art reliably, due in large part to anxiety over news. I’ve been stepping away from it much more, limiting my participation to what I can handle. Especially from Twitter.

This morning, Twitter injected news of the Mandalay Bay shooting _directly into my notifications_ as “News for you”. Which I’ve never seen them do before.

I have never contemplated deleting their app from my devices permanently so strongly as today.

rant, anxiety, Twitter 

The direct impact is I’ve decided to submarine from Twitter for a few weeks while I work on my art again. I’m hoping that’ll go well. 🐲🎨
